> People have ceased to debate Emacs vs vim not because any consensus was reached or either one disappeared, but because both are now such exceedingly niche editors that they are far more threatened by the giants like Visual Studio Code or Eclipse or Sublime Text.

Citation needed. From the latest Rust survey [1], Vim was in second place at 23.6%, behind only VS Code at 34.9%. Emacs was lower at 7%, but still beat Sublime at 4.3%, and Eclipse doesn’t even show up on the list. Not that Rust is representative of programming as a whole, but its results are still probably more accurate than what seem to be anecdotal impressions of editor popularity.
